GOLF-BAG HOLDER.

Application filed August 25, 1927. Serial No. 215,448.

This invention relates to 'a golf bag holderl especially adapted to be used upon the running board of an automobile machine and 1t consists in the novel features hereinafter deseribed and claimed.

An object of the invention is to provide a golf bag holder of the character indicated which is of simple and durable structure and which is capable of rigidly maintaining its position and shape upon the running board of an automobile machine so that the structure or the bag held thereby will not vibrate or rattle when the automobile machine is in motion. p

With this object in view the structure includes a bracketV member adapted to be clamped in position upon the running board of the'machine and adapted to extend around the edge of the board so that the end portions of the bracket lie at the upper and nether surfaces of the running board. A flat piece of steel or iron is fixed to the intermediate portion of the bracket and has its end portion disposed transversely across the edge of the running board of the machine when the device is applied. Strap arms of metal are attached to the said upright at spaced points. Billets of leather or other flexible material are connected with the end portions of the strap armsl and one of the billets is provided with a buckle adapted to retain the end portion of the other billet mounted upon the same strap arm. The golf bag is received within the arms and the arms are drawn closely about the side of the bag when the billets are engaged with each other and secured.

In the aecompanying drawings Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the forward portion of an automobile machine with the bag holder applied thereto;

Figure 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the holder detached;

Figure 3 is a detailed side elevational view of a clamp screw used upon the bag holder.

As illustrated inthe accompanying drawing, the golf bag holder includes a bracket member 1 made of sheet metal and having a relatively long upper end portion 2 and a relatively short lower end portion 3. A cross piece 4 is mounted upon the long end 2 at a point beyond the end of the short portion 3. A clamp bolt 5 is threaded through the shortend portion 3 and carries at its upper end a swiveled plate 6 which is adapted toibear` against the under surface of the running board of the automobile machine Vwhen the bracket is applied thereto.

An upright piece 7 is fixed at its lower end ble and are adapted to particularly surround the exterior surface of the bag when applied to the holder as will be hereinafter described. Billets 9 of leather or other flexible material are carried at the ends of the strap arms 8 and one of the said billets is provided with aV 'lo l buckle 10 which is adapted to receive and engage the free end portion of the other billet mounted upon the same strap arm.

l/Vhen the golf bag is applied to the holder the bottom of the bag rests upon the upper surface of the cross piece 4 and the upper surface of the relatively long end portion 2 of the bracket. The side walls of the bag are received between the billets and the opposite end portions of the strap arms 8. The free ends of the billets are engaged rwith the buckles carried by the opposite billets and econsequently the billets and the arms circums seribe the side Wall of the bag and the bag is held in vertical position along the upright 7 and with its bottom seated squarely above the upper surface of the running board of the automobile machine. If desired the strap arms may be of sufficient length to accommodate two or more golf bags. Inasmuch as the upright 7 is vertically disposed at the edge of the running board and with its flat sides parallel withthe longitudinal edge of the running board; the said upright imparts sufficient rigidity to the bag and its contents to prevent the bag from swaying or Vibrating as the automobile machine is traveling.

From theV foregoing description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, it will be seen that a golf bag holder of simple and durable structure is provided and that the same may be used to advantage for effectu'- ally holding one or more golf bags in proper i position at the Side of the automobile machine g c1airnedis:- I

A golf bag holder coinprising a running board engaging bracket substantially. U- i and that the structure is'of such nature as to 'prevent the bags from Vibrating -or swaying' Whenthe machine is in motion.

Having described the invention, what ls shaped in form to provide two spaced running board embracing arms, a clarnpV screw passing through one of said arms to engage :the runningV board, a cross plece mounted i,es3,1ee

upon one said arms extending across the armand being deflected at eachslde of the arm into the plane o'fthe arm, anupright formed of atfiat piece of metal exteniding up- Ward from the outer closed endof the bracket,
